Re: Bug#302572: (Fortunes-es contains offensive quotes that should be in fortunes-es-off)



I guessed this point would arise.

So I won't dispute that it is in extremely poor taste, but it is very hard to offend people lately, and it is better to let them have have an outlet, after all.

So I really am ok if they are deleted, ok if they are moved to -off, either way is fine for me. What is clear to me is that they should not be in fortunes-es.

What is the due process now like, do you write to the bug asking for complete removal?

IMO fortunes like this should not be moved to -off.
They should be
removed from Debian completely. I don't think it's
acceptable to
distribute "jokes" like this. Human dignity should
also limit fortunes
distributed in -off.

Not only that, it is inducing to crime, and thus it
would be possible to take the author to court in my
opinion.
